1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) comprises a group of autosomal recessive disorders caused by numerous variants in several genes encoding enzymes involved in adrenal steroidogenesis. While 21-hydroxylase deficit is the most common and well-known form of CAH, accounting for 90%-95% of cases, there are six other forms of CAH, due to mutations in the genes of other key enzymes involved in adrenal steroidogenesis. These forms are less frequent and, consequently, clinician experience is extremely limited. These disorders are 11β-hydroxylase deficiency (11βOHD); 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency (17OHD); 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 deficiency (3ΒHSD2D); P450 oxidoreductase deficiency (PORD); steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) deficiency, causing congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia and cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc) deficiency. This narrative review therefore focuses on these rarer forms of CAH, providing an update on their clinical presentation, diagnosis, management, and treatment.
